U know, since the beginning of my homee theatre endevours, being "film like" was the holy grail of front projection. However, the more I go to movies, the worse it appears to be. First, we have the speckles. Unless you are lucky enough to see a brand new reel of film being projected, your gonna get these. Geez, we complain about pixelization, but this is much worse.
Black Level??!?!? Film doesn't look any better than many digital projectors. When the screen is supposed to be black, I see the screen. Therefore, black level isn't great. And, whil this isn't film specifically, but nothing like getting the red glow from the exit sign or a door left open to wash out an image!
I wish someone would come up with the BLACK HOLE theatre room, where all ambient light is absorbed by the walls, so when things are supposed to be dark, they are BLACK.
Finally, the gitters. Man, you every look at text that is supposed to be in one place when watching film. It jumps all over the place! I unfortunately sat a little to close during Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and man, were those subtitles dancing. I got a headache just trying to read them!
That is my rant about film. If it wasn't for the social aspect of actually leaving my home, I would stay home. Geez, for 12 dollars a movie, and 10 bucks for a drink and popcorn, I could make enough popcorn to feed 20 people, enough beverage for the same, with money left over?
